What is a Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur?

'Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur' is a system promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that allows local governments to accept employees from private companies for a certain period to solve regional issues, fostering public-private collaboration. Dispatched employees work for the local government while remaining employed by their company, utilizing their specialized knowledge and skills to contribute to regional revitalization. Through this system, local governments can leverage private sector know-how, while companies can deepen their connections with regions and contribute to social contribution and human resource development.

About Nexwill Inc.

Our company buys and resells problematic real estate, such as vacant houses, which are generally more difficult to sell than ordinary real estate. We then process them by organizing ownership rights and other aspects, eliminating the 'problem' that makes them difficult to handle or sell, and then resell them.

When people hear 'problematic real estate,' they often think of accident-affected properties, but there are other factors.

Examples include jointly owned properties where ownership is split among multiple heirs due to inheritance, properties that cannot be rebuilt due to not meeting building standards, and properties where ownership has become unclear due to repeated inheritance without proper registration.

Our company buys these types of properties, organizes ownership rights, and makes them sellable through our 'Wakegai' problematic real estate buying and reselling business.

Furthermore, to address the worsening vacant house problem, we actively engage in public-private partnerships with local governments and sports teams. We have signed cooperation agreements with multiple municipalities to support the resolution of vacant house issues, and in collaboration with sports teams, we promote the resolution of vacant house problems and regional revitalization through a three-party collaboration of 'Local Government x Sports Team x Nexwill'.

Deterioration, depopulated areas, non-rebuildable properties, jointly owned properties, leased land, ground leases, unregistered properties, abandoned belongings...

These problematic real estate properties have been difficult to circulate and tended to be left unattended.

However, in recent years, their redistribution and utilization have been progressing, and our company has a cumulative track record of over 1,000 purchases.

This book serves as a 'textbook on the vacant house problem,' exploring hints for solving the vacant house issue through the current state of the vacant house market and examples of vacant house utilization by our company, local governments nationwide, and private companies.
